Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea
Chapter 559: The premiere of impromptu bold words
Chapter 559: The premiere of impromptu bold words
Chen Hong appeared on the red carpet with the two leading actors of "Search". Although Chen Kaige is aloof, Chen Hong knows how to behave.
When Chen Hong said she would come to attend the premiere of "Chinese Police".
Chen Kaige puffed up his cheeks, put his hands behind his back and said silently: "Say sorry to Lao Tian for me, I won't go."
Tian Zhuangzhuang is Chen Kaige's classmate. Chen Hong and Li Chen have had a good relationship in recent years.
It is also polite to come and show support on behalf of your old baby.
By the way, give more exposure to the two leading actors of "Search".
Lest the media forget her "song"!
"Sister Hong, where is Director Chen?"
"Sister Hong, when will the cast of Searching be announced?"
"Sister Hong, when will the filming of Searching start?"
"Yuanyuan, are you and Youting dating?"
The media was talking about it.
Chen Hong smiled slightly, feeling happy in her heart. It seemed that everyone still missed her songs.
"The cast has been finalized and will be announced in two days, so just wait and see."
"As for the rest, I have nothing to tell you for now. Director Chen doesn't allow me to reveal it." Chen Hong kept it a secret.
"Sister Hong, are you still afraid of Director Chen?"
Everyone laughed. Chen Hong always said whatever she wanted to say, and often the explosive news in the crew were revealed by Chen Hong herself.
Chen Hong showed off her affection: "He is not by my side, of course I am afraid of him."
Qin Hong walked on the red carpet of the premiere of "Chinese Police" together with Liu Weiqiang and Liu Dehua.
This caused a lot of discussion among the media, guests and fans gathered on both sides of the red carpet.
"It's confirmed! It seems that the person Mr. Qin criticized before must be Lu Chuan!"
"The thief cries thief!"
"Of course it is. The fact that they are here with Liu Weiqiang means they are definitely not from the crew of The Guillotines!"
"'Lu Man Man' is so shameless!"
"Mr. Qin!"
"Boss Qin, you appeared with Director Liu. Did you admit that the crew you criticized on Weibo that day was The Banquet?!"
Qin Hong certainly knew that his and Liu Weiqiang's appearance on the red carpet would definitely spark heated discussions among the media and netizens.
This is a good thing, as it gives Lu Chuan a sense of urgency, and it also serves as a promotion for "The Banquet".
Facing the eager eyes of the media, Qin Hong smiled calmly and said, "Don't make wild guesses. Lu Chuan just doesn't have time to come."
"I have great confidence in "The Banquet"! I will spare no effort to support Lu Chuan and the crew."
The media at the scene secretly complained that Lu Chuan had basically never been to the premiere of Rongchen Pictures.
Everyone knows about the feud between him and Leo.
However, since the release of "Wuxia", Qin Hong and Li Chen seem to have reconciled.
The media speculated that this might be because "The Lost Tomb" was previously scheduled for July and did not compete with "Wuxia".
But then "Transformers 3" was aired in August.
"Wuxia" was suddenly moved up to July, the same schedule as "The Lost Tomb".
But what was strange was that both sides were very quiet and did not criticize each other.
An insider revealed that Qin Hong had asked someone to pass a message to Leo, as a way of thanking him for not scheduling the release date of "The Lost Tomb" in August.
Sina live broadcast the premiere of "Chinese Police".
Not long after Qin Hong and Liu Weiqiang walked the red carpet, their names became trending searches.
It turned out to be just a few days ago.
A Weibo post by Qin Hong, "Do you think my politeness and tolerance can be cheated and deceived? Don't go too far! I am considering completely withdrawing from a certain film. You can decide for yourself!" sparked speculation among many netizens.
The most suspicious ones are the crew of "The Guillotines", which frequently changed directors, and the crew of "The Banquet", which has a long way to go.
Especially for "The Banquet", the evidence is a Weibo post posted by Qin Hong himself in July this year.
“Visiting the set of The Banquet, the crew is so hard-working and annoying!”
In addition, the recent exposure of Du Juan, the actress who plays Yu Ji, has been questioned by the outside world, which may also arouse the anger of investors.
But early the next morning, Lu Manman responded easily to Qin Hong's Weibo.
"It's just a movie, isn't it? It's no big deal, no need to get angry. Come on! Save your money and give it all to The Banquet. That's the right thing to do!"
Now netizens were confused, as Lu Chuan's move directly cleared her of suspicion of "The Banquet".
But the matter was not over yet, as a producer in the industry soon jumped out to slap the blame in the face.
The sentence "I'm talking about you. You shoot movies every day without any plan and you're not professional...do you have any face?" made Lu Chuan explode.
What’s even more infuriating is that a well-known blogger called “Film People’s Complaints” followed suit.
"Dear readers, please stop guessing. Qin Hong is considering withdrawing from The Banquet. The set is very expensive, Lu Chuan is not good enough, the casting is annoying, and the delay is too long. He doesn't mind spending money."
Lu Chuan was not a pushover either, and she quickly sent two attacks on Weibo.
"You have stripped the bottom line and underwear of the film industry."
"Do filmmakers need to go to such great lengths to discredit their rivals just for a few box office dollars? What kind of movies can a film team without a sense of morality give us?"
Qin Hong also quickly deleted the Weibo post about withdrawing investment.
It became: "I'm going to Shanxi to visit the set of "The Guillotines" tomorrow, and then I'll go to visit "The Banquet" when I come back. Thank you for your hard work, and I look forward to the masterpieces of Liu Weiqiang and Lu Chuan!"
The crowd of onlookers were completely confused.
Seeing Qin Hong and Liu Weiqiang coming towards them, Han Sanping and Li Chen said, "Qin Hong has been a bit overwhelmed lately. Please be lenient and give him some face."
Li Chen glanced at Han Sanping and said, "Boss Han, am I someone who rubs salt into other people's wounds in your eyes?"
Han Sanping snorted twice: "Whether you sprinkle salt or not depends on who you are dealing with."
Qin Hong smiled and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Boss Han, Director Li, I'm late, I'm late, please don't be offended."
Li Chen also laughed and said, "Boss Qin, what are you talking about? The premiere hasn't even started yet."
Han Saping looked at Li Chen silently and felt slightly relieved.
Liu Weiqiang also smiled and nodded to the two of them, "Director Han, Director Li."
Liu Weiqiang knew very well that the two people in front of him represented the right to speak in the mainland circle.
Didn’t you see that even Qin Hong greeted him with a smile.
Li Chen smiled and joked: "Director Liu, now that you have taken over "The Guillotines", you have to start filming as planned."
"But don't think that all our investors' money came from the wind, right?"
Li Chen's words made Han Sanping's mouth, which had just loosened a little, close again instantly.
Even Qin Hong's face froze and he sighed in his heart.
Li Chen's words touched the heart.
He swore that he would never invest in a long-awaited film again in his life.
A movie called "Nan Jing" died in the womb, but a movie called "The Banquet" only cared about making money.
Liu Weiqiang certainly knew that Li Chen was not talking about him, but was indirectly criticizing someone else.
Liu Weiqiang unconsciously glanced at Qin Hong from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Qin Hong's face looked normal, he smiled and said, "Director Li, please stop teasing me."
"We Hong Kong Islanders value efficiency above all else. I guarantee that this will never happen."
Qin Hong didn't want to talk about this troublesome matter anymore, so he said, "Director Li, I heard from Chairman Han that The Flowers of War sold for a good price in Venice."
"Next time, Director Zhang will have your project, and we at Xingmei will also be included in it."
"After all, China Film Star Media is one family, and we are all friends, don't you think?"
Li Chen did not comment: "Boss Qin, I never said that you guys, Xingmei, would not be allowed to have a hand in The Flowers of War. You can't blame me for this."
Not far away, Zhou Xun, Yang Siwei and Yang Mi were watching these people talking and laughing and couldn't help gossiping.
"What are the seniors talking about?"
"Who knows? It looks like we had a good chat."
"Do you think President Qin's actions are meant to promote 'The Banquet'?" Zhou Xun bumped into Yang Siwei and glanced at Yang Mi.
In fact, she suspected that both parties had joined forces to hype the issue.
Yang Siwei smiled and said, "Is it important? What I saw was that the popularity of "The Banquet" and "Legend of the Hongmen Feast" has increased."
Yang Mi just smiled and said nothing. She is the leading actress of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet".
Although she didn't know what caused this incident, that was the film company's business.
But from what she heard, both parties seemed to have a tacit understanding in wanting to make things bigger.
The premiere of "Chinese Police" was extremely lively. Yang Zi, who didn't attend, was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood just by watching the Weibo and Sina live broadcast.
"White Snake" was almost buried by the Internet army before it was even released.
The premieres of "White Snake" held in various places have received rave reviews.
What is "Last year the bullets flew, this year the sun flies!"
"This movie will not have a low box office, it may very well set a new box office record!"
"After watching it, I think it is the best movie of all the movies so far. I give a thumbs up to all the actors and staff of this movie!"
Positive reviews like these are all the same.
The "netizens" kept harping on the "lucky draw for an iPhone" event that Yangzi held at the Shanghai Film Festival. If that wasn't hush money, what was that?
Yoko was furious!
"Is it Wang Changtian? Is it? You tell me!"
It’s no wonder that Yangzi suspected Wang Changtian. The direct competitor of "White Snake" is Guangguang's "Painted Skin". "Chinese Police" has official protection, and no one dares to criticize it.
Everyone in the circle knows exactly what Lao Wang does.
"Mr. Yang, in addition to Guangguang, it could also be Rongchen Pictures and the producer of The Revolution of 1911."
"You know, even if the heads of Rongchen Pictures, China Film Group, and Shanghai Film Group would not do anything tricky, it's hard to say for the people below them."
Yoko panted heavily and closed her eyes to calm her rage.
"Yeah, he's right. White Snake has too many rivals. Even I can't figure out who is behind White Snake!"
"I will never admit to hush money even if I die. What I gave was clearly an iPhone! What does it have to do with hush money?" Yoko said silently in her heart.
"I don't care about all that! I just want the result. I want to see the same treatment as us for Painted Wall! I don't need to teach you how to do it, right?"
"But, but Mr. Yang, it's hard to hide this from Guangguang."
Yangzi grinned: "Why should I care about him? I am just trying to clear him of the suspicion of being the founder of the water army."
"Maybe he will even thank me! Both White Snake and Painted Wall were attacked by trolls, and we are all victims, hahaha."
At the same time, Guangxian's Wang Changtian was as steady as a rock.
Forget about "Chinese Police". Regardless of his relationship with Li Chen or the producer of this film, Wang Changtian can only endure it.
But you, a newcomer, Yangzi, dare to challenge me and Lao Wang just by bringing in Li Lianjie. Do you really think that Lao Wang is a vegetarian?
Don’t worry, the best is yet to come.
Yu Dong also believed that it was Guangguang who was behind the move, but firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, even if there was evidence, what they said was true.
It was indeed Yoko who made the first stupid move. Why did you give an iPhone for no reason? You might as well give a bag of apples and see who can accuse you of paying hush money to the media.
"Boss Yu, Boss Yang has started to fight back."
"Hmph! What an idiot." Yu Dong also sneered at Yangzi.
If it weren’t for the so-called “unlimited” publicity and promotion fees, Yu Dong would not bother with Juli Pictures!
At the premiere of "Chinese Police", Han Saping, on behalf of the producers, made a bold statement that the minimum box office would be 500 million yuan.
The stars in the audience wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Many of them lowered their heads silently, enduring it very hard. They are worthy of being actors.
The 1 billion boast in "The Founding of a Party" is still fresh in our minds, and this time it was directly cut in half.
Han Sanping seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I know you will definitely think, Han Sanping is here again!"
"If 'Chinese Police' can't make 500 million, Cheng Long and Li Chen should be more embarrassed than me."
Cheng Long in the audience laughed loudly, and Li Chen also smiled, but even a blind person could see the helplessness on his face.
"President Han is very confident about "Chinese Police". I wonder if our leading actor Chenglong, Mr. Liu Dehua, Yawen, Yilong, and Tang Yan are also confident."
"Now, please invite the crew of "Chinese Police" to come on stage and share with us the interesting stories behind the scenes of the filming."
Cheng Long, Liu Dehua, Zhu Yawen, Zhu Yilong, Tang Yan, Tian Zhuangzhuang and other main creators were invited to the stage by the host Jingwei.
The scene was lively and bustling. Chenglong was very good at livening up the atmosphere and always smiled when he met people.
The host Jingwei was also very tactful and did not even mention Chenglong's "The Revolution of 1800", after all, the box office in the first week was only million.
Compared with the investment of 100 million, it is really hard to put into words.
Cheng Long took the microphone and said with a smile: "First of all, I will take 200 million of the 500 million box office that Mr. Han mentioned just now. The remaining 300 million will depend on Li Chen."
"I can't help it. My highest box office record in China is The Forbidden Kingdom, but I am confident that I can reach 500 million."
"This time it's Li Chen's script, directed by Director Tian, and there are young idol actors like Xiao Zhu, Xiao Long, and Xiao Tang."
As he spoke, Cheng Long glanced at Liu Dehua beside him and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about Liu Dehua, he is box office poison."
"If it can't reach 500 million, Mr. Han, you should be the first one to settle the account with him!"
"Hahaha" there was laughter in the venue.
Han Sanping, Li Chen and others applauded in the audience.
Liu Dehua immediately fired back: "Compared to the mainland box office records, Chenglong is not as good as me."
It’s the turn of the Zhu brothers Zhu Yawen and Zhu Yilong, who are also brothers in the play.
Miao Qingshan of Zhu Yawen and Miao Ziwen of Zhu Yilong.
"Yawen and Yilong, you, the Zhu brothers, no, you should be called Miao brothers. What do you want to say?" Jingwei smiled and threw the question back to Li Chen's two artists.
Zhu Yilong let his elder brother speak, and Zhu Yawen took the microphone without hesitation and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhu and I both think so."
"With the strong alliance between Teacher Tian and Li, and the full support of Big Brother and Brother Hua."
"The most important thing is that Xiao Zhu and I have changed our previous righteous image. The box office should be at least 500 million."
The last sentence made the atmosphere even more joyful.
Jingwei smiled and said, "I understand. Yawen's last sentence is the key point. What about Yilong?"
Zhu Yilong was a little nervous, but his eyes were full of energy as he uttered eight words: "Anything produced by Rongchen must be a top-notch product."
The applause from the audience broke out again instantly.
"Xiao Zhu has a bright future! It's hard not to like this flattering senior."
"Well, it has better financial prospects than Xiaozhu!" Zhou Xun nodded.
Finally, it was the director Tian Zhuangzhuang's turn. Tian Zhuangzhuang's answer was quite standard: "I hope the box office will be worthy of the two investors and the public security soldiers of that year."
There was no more laughter and only applause.
The movie premiere began when the Black Panther band's classic song "Shame" sounded in the conference hall.
Leather jackets, bell-bottom pants, sunglasses, and big wavy hair, these common outfits in the 90s appeared in front of everyone.
The many guests in the conference hall seemed to have returned to the passionate era at the end of the last century.
Especially when Tang Yan appeared, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.
A red short tight jacket with a black lace V-neck tight underwear inside, and a sexy ultra-short hip skirt underneath, which highlights the long legs to the fullest.
Coupled with the big wavy curls and fiery red lips that were the standard of the 90s, the worldly aura immediately overflowed from the screen.
"Tangtang, you are so attractive! Women will be moved when they see you." Yang Mi leaned forward, looked at the big screen with envy, and said in Tang Yan's ear.
Tang Yan turned around and gave Yang Mi a reproachful look, then glanced at the boss who was sitting at a 45-degree angle in front of her.
Although the boss did not personally take care of the styling and set-up of this film, he pointed out the general direction and was in charge of the final step.
As for the costumes of these actors, they were only put on after the boss gave the nod.
Han Sanping also nodded frequently. These people basically knew whether the movie would be a hit or not as soon as it started.
The premiere ended with applause.
The media had been waiting at the entrance of the Great Hall, waiting to interview the first wave of viewers about their impressions of the show.
The guests walked out of the conference hall one after another.
Li Chen stood at the back and gave Yang Siwei a lecture.
"It seems the response is pretty good, but you can't take it lightly. Since you're all in the same schedule, you should show your talents."
"Don't let my relationship with Lao Wang restrict your actions."
"Remember one thing, we are the new nobles, and we will step on their shoulders to rise to the top."
"I'll remember that, boss."
Yang Siwei's blood boiled. With her boss's words, she knew what to do.
No matter whether it is light or great force, if they use dirty tricks, Yang Siwei will not be polite.
When Li Chen and his colleagues left last, they were inevitably asked by the media about their box office expectations.
"Director Li, who do you think will have the last laugh in the National Day double J competition?"
"Director Li, Chairman Han is looking forward to 500 million. Do you think "Chinese Police" can win the championship during the National Day holiday?"
There is no question that does not offend people.
However, with Li Chen's current demeanor, he is no longer afraid of offending criminals, but others are more afraid of offending him.
Li Chen didn't waste any time talking and went straight to the point: "Rongchen Pictures has never lost at the box office."
"This time is no exception. Choosing Rongchen Pictures means choosing to have the last laugh!"
“As for the National Day champion,” Li Chen smiled lightly.
"There is a saying that a disciple is like his teacher. Last year, it was "Charlotte's Troubles". This year, with the help of Mr. Tian, the champion of the National Day box office is just a matter of time!"
The media gasped and all had the same feeling in their hearts: Leo has changed, and his aura is extremely fierce.
They love it!
Sina Entertainment News
"The film "Chinese Police", jointly produced by China Film Group and Rongchen Films, supervised by Han Sanping and Li Chen, and directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, premiered yesterday."
"Han Sanping's goal of guaranteeing a minimum of 500 million yuan was strongly supported by Chenglong, Liu Dehua and others."
"Li Chen even frankly said that in the National Day double J competition, Chenglong chose Rongchen Pictures and chose to have the last laugh."
"As for the box office champion during the National Day, Leo said that the master is like his disciple, and compared it with last year's box office champion, "Charlotte's Troubles," which was also the champion during the National Day, and boasted that "Chinese Police" would definitely win the championship during the National Day."
“The film will be released on September 9 and pre-sales are currently going on.”
Li Chen's impromptu speech made Chenglong a little excited.
"Li Chen is getting more and more powerful! It's great to be young." Cheng Long picked up the phone and prepared to call Li Chen.
"Li Chen, you are treating me like an advertisement, hahahaha"
